Atlético, a Giant to Beat According to Diego Martínez
The upcoming match between UD Las Palmas and Atlético de Madrid has generated great excitement. Las Palmas coach Diego Martínez has highlighted the difficulty posed by the Rojiblanco team, calling them one of the best teams in LaLiga and Europe.
Martínez praised Atlético’s tactical richness and their ability to adapt to different styles of play, emphasizing that they are a competitive and uncomfortable team for any rival.
The Galician coach acknowledged the individual and collective quality of Atlético, but sees this match as a great opportunity to add three important points. After the victory in Getafe, the Canary team feels prepared and confident to face the challenge.
Martínez also had words of admiration for Diego Simeone, whom he considers one of the great coaches in history, placing him at the same level as Guardiola, Klopp or Tuchel. He highlighted Simeone’s trajectory at the head of Atlético, with more than 700 games managed and an impressive percentage of victories.
The Las Palmas coach stressed the importance of being attentive, focused and believing in his team’s possibilities to beat Atlético, as they did last season.
